Cereal Quiz
18/20, a true testament to the power of advertising, I've never had about half of these cereals.

Arroz Dulce (Rice Pudding).
My dad is a good cook but usually my mom does most of the cooking in the house and my dad loves her cooking (its great). One dish they don't agree on is arroz dulce. Both my parents (and now I too) make Spanish-style rice pudding for holidays, family gatherings and occasionally on a whim but though the most health-conscious of the family Papi likes his rice pudding sweeter than the rest of us can tolerate, so sometimes he just makes his own, and uses a much more elaborate method than Mami and I.
Mami and I add the sugar, rice and milk maybe some orange zest, cook for 20 minutes, done. I'm not even sure what Papi's method entails, but the rice is cooked twice, and the milk is first flavored with orange peels and whole cinnamon sticks... Did I mention that Papi's motto is "If its worth doing, its worth doing right?"
I know where that is! They always have pretty hilarious signs.
ditto to Edy's Slow Churned and stonyfield farms fro-yo, I'm a fan of their Javalanche flavor. It was a staple pick-me-up in college.
19/20/ I mistook a Corn Flake for a Post Toastie. D'uh!
Ahh...Cracklin' Oat Bran! Best tasting cereal most easily confused with Purina Cat Chow.
15/20! I would have FAILED a year ago, but the craptasticness of my college dining hall has me well-versed in cereals by now. :)
I did the other quizzes, too. I completely bombed on the ice cream treat and candy quizzes. That can only mean one thing: I need to make friends with the ice cream man and eat more candy. LOL
15/20 after I second-guessed myself on a couple. You should always go with your first instinct! Oh man, why'd you show this to me? They have other ones for pasta, ice cream, ...
@feistyfoodie...I tend to like the less sugary cereals (even when I was a kid) and like you, didn't try frosted mini wheats until about a year ago. I still prefer the unfrosted variety though. And along with the higher price on cereal, have you noticed the incredible shrinking boxes?
I got 14, and was surprised... though one of them I wsn't paying attention. I've been really into Trader Joe's Yogurt-O's (strawberry) even though they raised the price like almost a whole $1 in the 2 months since I started eating it. Grrr. (From 1.99 to 2.79 a box... wtf? Actually last time I went I think it was 3.49... ridiculous) I LOVE raisin bran crunch, and I recently - unbelievable, I know - had frosted mini wheats for the first time. Why do they get soft so quickly though?

My dad makes the most amazing preserved vegetables. My grandmother taught him and its a family secret. He won't even tell my mom and my mom has to BEG him to make it. He keeps it in a jar for a few days for the best flavor, but my sister and I would sneak bites that by the time it's supposed to be ready, it's half eaten. It has chinese cabbages, cucumbers, baby onions, and carrots. It sweet, crunchy, sour, spicy (like kimchi! but not red), and salty. The mouth is confused at first, but the stomach is always happy. (I miss my dad!).
I'm probably in the minority here, but I love the Tofutti Fudge pops. Fat free, 30 cals and 1 g fibre each.
